Length: 42 km to the Smith River airport, 5 km to West Lake or to Crooked Lake from the airport
Difficulty: N/A
Location: Mile 500 (km 810) of the Alaska Highway
This road leads north (right turn) off the Alaska Highway approximately 36 kms west of Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park Campground. For those wanting to ATV or snowmobile, there is ample room just off the highway on the side of the Smith River road for offloading vehicles.
This road is open to all motorized vehicles as it is an old Forest Service Road that is no longer active. As such, the road is in relatively good condition and as of 2003, was fully accessible by all types of transportation. As this road is no longer maintained, its condition may be uncertain, but it is fairly safe to say it will continue to be accessible for at least ATV’s and snowmobiles, barring large scale slumping of the road or sizable trees falling over it.
